"Name Not Found" in Registry

[someone]

I had downloaded Process Monitor - Sysinternals and it detects some register
keys have "Name not found." Is it safe to delete those keys? Also, it
notes that some keys have "Buffer overflow, Length 12." I have no idea what
that means. Win XP Pro.

Best to leave the registry alone unless you know exactly
what you're doing. Contrary to the view spread by the
registry cleaner gng, unused registry entries will NOT
slow down your machine, so why risk damaging it?

Someone,

A buffer is something used when programming to hold information. Say you set aside a
buffer of 10 chars but the return value may return over 10 chars then this will cause a
buffer overflow
